The healthcare field is one of the top industries in the
2020s and continues to grow. Bertrand Chaffee Hospital and Jennie B. Richmond
Chaffee Nursing Home in Springville are pleased to announce the first
graduating class of their Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program, which was
held in January.
The CNA training course is offered at the Bertrand
Chaffee Hospital/Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home campus and is approved by the New
York State Department of Health. Coursework consists of three components,
including Theory and Fundamentals, Lab, and Clinical. Enrollees in the training
program are given the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills and
attitudes to function safely in a clinical setting. Those who successfully
complete all components of the course and the State of New York examination
will receive a State of New York Certification for Nursing Assistant.
“Our training course prepares candidates for a career as
a CNA. Our comprehensive and balanced classes for students interested in
becoming CNA’s consist of an individual who provides basic care under the
supervision of a licensed nurse,” states Renna Thaine, Director of Nursing for
Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home. “Certified Nursing Assistants, both locally
and nationally, are one of the most in-demand jobs in the allied healthcare
field and we want to recruit caring compassionate individuals that want to
learn and grow with our organization.”
“Bertrand Chaffee Hospital and Jennie B. Richmond Chaffee
Nursing Home are keeping healthcare needs local for our surrounding communities
and keeping job opportunities local,” states Carole Francis, Licensed Nursing
Home Administrator.
Training coursework is held regularly throughout the year
and paid for by the organization. The next CNA training course will begin on
March 7; applications are due by February 15. To learn more about the CNA
